The debate surrounding these choices has sparked discussions on political affiliations and the implications of recognizing contentious figures in society.
Responses have varied significantly, with supporters defending the honors as a matter of free speech and recognition of contributions, while opponents argue that celebrating such individuals can endorse divisive ideologies.
